What percentage of each state’s population lives in poverty?

Visualization

Data Notes

The data for this visualization comes from the American Community Survey which is conducted by the U.S. Census Bureau. I used the Census Bureau API to pull the 2015 1 year estimate so I could see the percentage of the population in each state that is living in poverty. Once I gathered the data, I used Tableau to create this visualization. If you would like to gather the same data, the web address I used is included below.
